Sujeet, Pete. I understand what both of you are saying. It is just pretty bad when you can not sell a car like this. I just had friend take his 2001 celica already on his second blown engine and he was able to trade the car in. THey almost paid the damn thing off. My best estimate with the SVT at dealerships were 8k, and that was when the SVT was stock.
A little O.T here. Sujeet, Pete are very good friends to me and I HOPE nobody views me as having a attitude towards either of them. Me and Pete have discussed plenty of times on what I should do with my car. (Why I am explaing myself?? Someone felt they had the liberty to PM me saying I always have an attitude...) I would like to say thank you to everyone that is posted on this thread. Please keep your comments coming.

No worries man. Words (net, IM, etc.) are interpreted differently than the intended meaning.
To an enthusiast, your car is valued at more than $15k, but as Sujeet stated, to the common Joe, it is not.
Personally, I think you should part out the car and get what you can for the wheels, HIDs, center console, stereo, strut tower bar, KKM, BAT pipe, PIAAs, etc. and sell the car for less. By parting out and selling the car close to stock for say around $12k, you may be able to hit your goal of $15k total.
Best of luck.
